24 hour play-time: Get ready for the game of your life

If life feels like all work and no play, get ready for the "gamification" revolution - where everything you do could soon become a game. We're all hardwired to enjoy playing games (see video above) so why should they be constrained to playing consoles in our downtime? From brushing your teeth to cleaning the bathtub or going for a run, get ready to make daily life a lot more fun.

This video was intended to give you a taster of the full story, which you can read - and play - here. Can you solve the game hidden within the text?

This is a great overview of gamification and discussion of the intrinsic value of games in our everyday lives. I work for BigDoor, we're a gamification platform that works with online community owners to build the most effective game layers for their sites.
